Windows 2000 Expanded Memory (EMS) on IBM Server
I am tyring to use Expanded Memory (EMS) for a DOS application on a Windows 2000 Server running on an IBM x345 machine. I go edit the _default.pif file unders C:\winnt and tell it to use Auto Expanded Memory on the memory tab. This is the only change I make and then I pull up a command prompt and type mem and it will show you if you now have EMS. However on this IBM server it does not work....this same process on a Dell or Compaq works fine. I called IBM and they said it is not there problem of course and have not had any luck with Microsoft either. Can someone please help me!!!
What I get when I type mem (example)
655360 bytes total conventional memory
655360 bytes available to MS-DOS
599136 largest executable program size
5242880 bytes total contiguous extended memory
0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
941056 bytes available XMS memory
MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area
What I want when I type mem (example)
655360 bytes total conventional memory
655360 bytes available to MS-DOS
582960 largest executable program size
4194304 bytes total EMS memory
4194304 bytes free EMS memory

cd %systemroot%\AppPatch
regsvr32 /u slayerui.dll

cd %systemroot%\AppPatch
regsvr32 /u slayerui.dll
I did that...but it says "LoadLibrary("slayerui.dll ) failed-The specified module could not be found."
Do you have SP2 installed? If not, install SP2 or a later version SP (SP3, etc.)
If you already have SP2 or higher installed, re-install it.
This first came out in SP2, and is also included in later service packs.

This did not answer the question. It seems that the problem is hardware realted and not software as mfutty says. What mfutty said did not fix the problem.
